Frozen puff pastry

Grated gruyere cheese

1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs), grated

Marinated artichoke hearts

4 Ounce, drained (1 Jar)

Mayonnaise

1⁄8 Cup (2 tbs)

Cream cheese

Worcestershire sauce

1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)

Canned crabmeat

4 Ounce, drained and picked through

Kosher salt

To Taste

Freshly cracked pepper

To Taste

Beaten egg

1 , with 1 tablespoon water (To Brush The Top Of Pastry)

Directions

Put all ingredients (except egg and pastry) into food processor. Whirl it about for 30-40 seconds, or until pretty finely chopped.

Unfold 1 sheet of thawed puff pastry and place it on a lightly floured board. With a rolling pin, lightly roll dough until about 1/8 inch thick, approx. 13€³. Spread crabmeat filling on top of dough. You can take it right to the edge. Make a mark on the center of the dough coming down from short ends. Roll one side of dough up to the middle mark, roll other side of dough to meet the first side, continue with another roll until the two sides come together (think 2 little jelly rolls). Brush a bit of egg wash at the point where they meet to hold them together. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic and freeze for 40 minutes.

Remove rolled dough from freezer. Slice the dough into 1/4 inch slices and place the slices onto cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper. Do not leave dough sitting around for anytime, it must go immediately into the oven, or a refrigerator to keep cool until you bake it. Brush each piece with egg wash and place in the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes in a 400F oven.
